They do more options, Abbots Ale being £2.80
OK, yeh, a bit better!
Weather-spoons? Do you get rained on with your cheap pint? 
That aside its amazing what people will forgive for a cheap pint...

The Boot Inn, Burnley had a decent range on yesterday. Wainwright (x2) and some from Yorkshire.
I don't mind Wetherspoon's - they cater for a clientele, and if you're not in the target market, there are other choices.

Hipsters hate 'Spoons despite it being the exact same bottles and cans and maybe even pints at a reasonable price. What the hipsters are actually doing is sneering at the 'Spoons clientele. Which is not very nice
Really? I thought it was more to do with its obnoxious brexit supporting owner?

I'm not a drinker and only very seldom find myself in Wetherspoons.
What is it that people are forgiving?

Doubt that 98% of the punters even know - or give the tiniest shit about - who the owner is. All they know and care about is that they're getting food n drink at a fair price - even in the Red Lion airside in LGW North Terminal. Maybe even especially there
Did you check the sell-before date?
Wow! Well that speaks volumes...

Not really. Do you know or care about who owns your local?
I don’t think thats true Tom. Hipsters drink a different type of beer that Wetherspoons rarely stock. Maybe Punk or some crappy pale that no one can keep down. Doom bar and Abbots ? Jesus wept. Their beer is never in good nick and often stale as HT says. Saying that I’ve drank plenty in the one outside Victoria on the way to games.

They serve a purpose. Cheap grog and scran. Some are undoubtedly nicer than others, I went to one in Newquay which was lovely. Great location by the harbour, nice building, spotlessly clean and an Eggs Benedict (plus limitless coffee) for less than 4 quid which was frankly superb. Of course some are open sewers with many people hosting less teeth than eyeballs, but thats like any other pub. The Spoons in the Marina is ok, nice outside area too.
I take as I find. That George Street one was grim, but most are alright.
